Parent of origin gene expression in a founder population identifies two new candidate imprinted genes at known imprinted regions.
Genomic imprinting is the phenomena that leads to silencing of one copy of a gene inherited from a specific parent. Mutations in imprinted regions have been involved in diseases showing parent of origin effects. Identifying genes with evidence of parent of origin expression patterns in family studie...
